Makgadikgadi Pans, the Boteti River (7)



At a point about 36 km north of the turnoff to Khumaga, the Boteti River cuts its way through the Gidikwe Sand Ridge.

There is fascinating scenery to enjoy here.



When the river is full, there are beautiful lagoons around this area, and massive cliffs of calcrete plunge vertically for more than 35 m into the river.
Near the spot, there are plenty of viewpoints and shady trees for a picnic.

You can usually find your way up or down the river on the north bank sufficiently far for reasonable privacy.
The area is little known, off the road and offers magical camping spots.
